Portable effective windsurfer and stand up paddleboard.
Waited a few weeks before giving a review. I have tested it with a 6.5 m sail and as a paddleboard and it does very well. Inflates fairly easy with the included pump and includes an attachment to use a compressor. Extremely well made inflation/ deflation system makes keeping the air in easy, but allows it to be folded up very quickly when done. My typical set up time is less than 10 minutes, and take down time is just as quick. The included backback is surprisingly well made and easy to use. Stiffness is excellent and it can get up to plane in about 12 knots of wind with a 6.5 m sail. Uses a standard screw in mount point for the windsurfing sail.A nice bonus for me is that the board is shippable to a military address (AA,AE,AP). The sail that the company sells to go with it is to large to go to a military address and so I had to get a different sail.

Great portable wind SUP!!
I purchased this over a year ago. I had bought a bunch of old windsurfing gear but the boards were meant for more advanced people and stronger winds that can get the board on plane. I was never able to uphaul and not fall off. With this board I was immediately able to uphaul a 7.5m sail with this board and figured out how to sail with in 30min. The small center fin makes it hard to tack up wind in light winds but if there is a moderate breeze I can tack up wind no problem. I was skeptical that the mast mount could handle that large of a sail. Absolutely love the board and it made me into a windsurfer. I've used it for over a year and have no complaints about the durability and overall quality. It has held up well and looks like the day I bought it despite spending 1.5 summers fully inflated and in the sun. I've been using it 2-3x a week this summer.My only wish would be for a larger center fin to aid with tacking up wind.

Great starter board!
I am brand new to SUPs. My directions were not accurate to the actual product. But it’s easy enough to figure it out. Decent quality and manufacturing with all products and hardware. It paddles smoothly even upstream. I was kneeling most of the time, I’ll need a bit more practice before I can stand. But if you’re looking for an entry level SUP this will do it. For fishing I take one plastic crate with a drawer that I can sit on and one ultralight pole and it works like a charm. Please always wear your leash and PFD!

Helpful communication, very nice product!
This is a nice board! I purchased for windusurfing capabilities, but Freein's sail rig was not available so I returned. Freein's communication was very good, but other sellers and manufacturers didn't display mast foot details so I couldn't beat the learning curve on the net trying to match different manufactured products at a somewhat high cost. The board is heavy duty, though not as thick and multi-ply as Jobe (rare) possibly comparable to IRocker Blackfin...though I didn't have both in the same place at the same time. I think the fin shape and length on the Freein is better/modern choice for windsup used in the center position; If it were me I'd get at least an 8 inch curved or wave fin for the rear fin to allow for better "coming about" (turning with wind going across bow or "jibing" turning with wind going across the back of the board...not the safest for large boats. The longer board will allow the beginner more stability for both paddle and windsurfing. This is a very good board to get started. Freein told me their sail rigs will be available next year. Apparently, any sail rig will work... Freein told me Euro pin mast base is what they use and I found customer reviews with maybe a Gastra sail (beautiful and amazing)...another with Chinook hardware for mast base...Chinook makes all style mast bases with sought after quality, if you can grab the inventory (out now)....it's great to be able to ride the wind with this for a fraction of a fiberglass board and without the hassle of driving it on the roof. If Freein's sail rig were available this would be the best deal around....competitive price, good product, good packaging and shipping. I recommend!

Great paddle board made of durable materials.
Got this in today and immediately unboxed it. The board was packaged very well and all of the materials seem to be made of very high quality. The pump is handy that it locks into the valve and has a psi gauge to tell you when you have the board properly inflated. Using the adapter for a powered pump is handy if you have one. The storage bag and paddle and tether are great additions that are included making this ready to go right out of the box. Standing on an inflatable paddle board for the first time I was shocked about how firm and sturdy it felt. The fins attached with ease. I can't wait to get this on the water tomorrow and I'll expand my review once I have.Update.Got it on the water and it's very stable and the fins do a great job of keeping it going the right way. I recommend this board to anyone looking to get into the hobby. It's great for paddling, lounging, and fishing.

So Happy With It - I bought another
I was so happy with my Freein, I bought a second one for my significant other. It is really well made and the quality seems to be just as good as much more expensive boards. Yes, you can buy cheaper boards but they don't have handle on the nose, bungee straps, handle in the middle, etc.I saw another review that complained the patch kit didn't contain glue. Uh yeah, it says so right in the manual, "glue isn't included due to danger/inflammability" in shipping. Makes sense. Another critical review said the manual was poorly translated. True, however, that is very typical on ALL inexpensive products on Amazon. Some bloke at factory copy/pastes Mandarin into Google Translate and out pops a manual in English. Ta-da no need to spend money on those pesky translators. Well, there are definitely skills and nuances in human translators that you can't get with Google or Bing translate - but you get the idea of the manual. After all, it's not a manual on how to perform open heart surgery!

It's pretty great
I bought for my wife and I to practice our windsurfing.Pros. Soft, comfortable board. Very rigid where it needs to be. Super stable, both of us plus our rig is held up no problem. The accessories feel cheap, but they're very effective.Cons. A permanent camera spot that is not useful to me.

Need some force/speed to activate the PSI Gauge to read
New to paddle boarding, tried it out on a very wavy day, needless to say, I didn't stand. Compared to my friend's five-year old inflatable board from Costco, mine was lighter, wider and inflated faster, was easier to handle and glide in the water. Very satisfied with the board and company. Had to email them about the pump. Couldn't tell what the PSI was, but worked. They informed me that it takes more force and speed to get it to read...and it did.

Super SUP-Set für die ganze Familie und das Highlight in unserem Urlaub
Endlich konnten wir unser Freein SUP Board Set im Urlaub ausgiebig testen. Da unser altes SUP gerissen war, haben wir uns nach einem neuen SUP umgeschaut, das aber diesmal deutlich günstiger sein sollte.Anfangs waren wir noch etwas skeptisch, da das Freien-Set nur ein Viertel unseres alten SUP gekostet hat. Aber wie man sich täuschen kann...Als erstes ist uns aufgefallen, dass das Board nur noch die Hälfte von unserem alten Board wiegt, obwohl die Größe die gleiche ist. Sicherlich liegt das an der technischen Weiterentwicklung des Materials, da wir unser erstes SUP vor ca. 5 Jahren gekauft haben. Jetzt macht das Tragen zum Strand richtig Spass und auch die Kinder können es jetzt sogar alleine tragen.Erst wollten wir eine elektrische Pumpe zum Aufblasen anschließen. Mit der mitgelieferten Pumpe geht es aber auch sehr gut. In 5 Minuten ist das SUP aufgepumpt und man kommt kaum ins Schwitzen.Im Gegensatz zu anderen günstigen SUP-Boards ist beim Freein SUP an der Spitze eine Befestigung z.B. für eine Actioncam fest montiert. Das ist super praktisch und man braucht nicht extra Zubehör kaufen bzw. hat die Halterung immer dabei.Schade ist, dass keine Rückenlehne bei diesem Set dabei ist, wenn man einfach nur mal Paddeln will. Aber das ist bei diesem günstigen Preis verschmerzbar. Mittlerweile haben wir die Rückenlehne unseres alten SUPs mit etwas Improvisation am Freein SUP befestigen können.Das Freein-Board hat die ganze Familie und unsere Freunde begeistert. Es war ständig im Einsatz und niemand hat mehr de alten SUP nachgetrauert. Fahrtechnisch ist es jetzt auch für die Kinder wesentlich leichter zu paddeln. Trotz des geringen Gewichts liegt das Board gut auf dem Wasser.Auch was die Verarbeitung betrifft, sind wir sehr zufrieden. Es sind keine scharfen Schweißkanten- und Nähte vorhanden. Für uns als Gegenheits-SUPler ist das Set ideal. Wir überlegen, ob wir uns für den nächsten Urlaub noch ein weiteres Set zulegen, damit man sich nicht so oft abwechseln muss.
